The comparison to mobile devices - or any products by google/apple/Samsung etc - is flawed. This is a false logic. The argument for a PS4K (or specifically for incremental changes over short periods) should not be that all the others have it so therefore consoles should have it as well, but instead it should be evaluated wether it is favorable for consumers or not if this was implemented, and as far as it seems as of now, I think this is a step in the completely wrong direction for console gaming, because there are no favors for consumers. In fact, I don't think anybody will buy it at all, except insiders like us. If you already own a PS4 you are supposed to pay AGAIN for a new one if you want the best gaming experience. If you don't have one yet, you are supposed to buy one for a higher price than a regular PS4, which can basically do all the same tricks, but with a few less pixels here and there. Woohoo.
All the talk about how smart Sony is to release it and how much money they can save with that still doesn't help you, the consumer, at all. Why should I want to give Sony extra money anyway by knowing how hard it is for them to make a buck? I don't care if they make money with their consoles or not. If they don't, it's their own fault! They're to blame themselves, not us.
I will never support such nonsense in any way. For the record, I haven't bought a N3DS either for the exact same reason.
